UTI Mutual Fund has introduced a new facility called ''CanServe'' with effect from Aug. 26, 2015 for investments (fresh as well as existing) under UTI Balanced Fund, UTI Spread Fund and UTI Mastershare Unit Scheme.
''CanServe'' will enable investors to contribute their dividend payouts if they are under dividend payout option or specified amounts as desired, if they are under growth option towards a medical cause. To provide this platform to investors, UTI Mutual Fund has entered into an agreement with St. Jude India ChildCare Centres.
Contributions under ''CanServe'' facility will go to St Jude India ChildCare Centres as donation for needy and under-privileged children who are being treated for cancer and their families, during the period of the child’s treatment.
On this occasion, Leo Puri, managing director, UTI AMC said, ''We are happy to partner with St.Jude India ChildCare Centres in this new philanthropy oriented initiative which will help the under-privileged children who are being treated for cancer.''CanServe'' will provide a platform to investors to contribute towards cancer care.''
Usha Banerji, CEO, St.Jude India ChildCare Centres said, ''We are happy that UTI, one of the most respected organisations in the Indian financial world, has made common cause with us. This is an opportunity for their investors to make a difference to needy children with cancer and give them a fighting chance to overcome the disease.''
